World-Information City Paris 2009 is an international, two day conference focusing on four major themes within the wide field of new urban
geographies: mobility, global flows and local dynamics, the remaking of urban spaces through new strategies of conflict and security, and new approaches to map distributed action in space. Mobility – of people, goods, and information – across distances large and small has become an ever more salient aspect of a wide range of social practices.

World-Information City is a one-week programme of events addressing
global issues of intellectual property and technology in conjunction
with changing urban landscapes. Held at India's IT metropolis Bangalore, World-Information City is a
cooperative project of the Institute of New Culture Technologies/t0
(Vienna), Sarai CSDS (Delhi), Waag Society (Amsterdam), ALF (Bangalore), Mahiti (Bangalore) and local partners. The programme brings together researchers, artists and activists from
Europe and South Asia. It consists of a conference, workshops, an
exhibition, a public campaign, and a series of musical and art
events based on electronic media.

Conceived as an ongoing effort to critically observe and investigate new technologies in a societal, economic and artistic context World-Information.Org opened its doors in Serbia. There the World-Information Exhibition was shown from 22 March to 5 April, 2003, in Novi Sad's Museum of the Revolution and from 19 April to 5 May, 2003, at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Belgrade. Accompanying the exhibitions were the World-Information Forum entitled “Total DisInformation Awareness” held on 20 April, 2003, in Belgrade and the World-Information Lounge.

After successful major presentations in Brussels and Vienna World-Information.Org once again staged its extensive exhibition and conference program, this time in the Dutch capital Amsterdam. In the Oude Kerk World-Information.Org outlined the history of communication networks and their future, exhibited historic and state-of-the-art control and surveillance technology and displayed digital artworks and installations.

From 24 November to 24 December, 2000, the Technical Museum Vienna provided the venue for the World-Information Exhibition that invited to a journey into the realms of information. The exhibition was divided into three parts: "World-Infostructure", "Future Heritage" and "World-C4U", and accompanied by the World Information Forum and a complex art mediation program.
